90渼陂西南台

The Terrace Southwest of Meipi The high terrace faces the gray-green embankments[1], in the sixth month the weather is chilly. Reeds and rushes have gone off in tatters[2], now heavens and waters join in endlessness. Thinking on freshness, my eyes are as if struck, gathering the essentials, the mind already comprehends. I recognize mermen[3] in vague semblance[4], I make out a fishing skiff[5] in a hazy[6] blur. Grinding and polishing Mount Zhongnan’s azure, inverting White Tower in reflection. It increases the glow of what looms so high, I regret there is only a moment to mount the slope. Belabored[7] by life, I am ashamed before Yan and Zheng, I admire Zhang and Bing in placing things beyond them. This age also has contempt[8] for the Hualiu steed, so I am willing to mingle[9] with frogs and bullfrogs. Knowing when to go home, the common may be ignored, nothing can match the choice of what suits one’s nature. Why wait to get office to withdraw from public life?— getting older, I’m intensely drawn to comfortable quiet. Better to be supplied with plenty of water-nuts and euryale[10], I will perhaps make a thatched dwelling in this remote spot. From this point on I will ready a tiny boat and, to the fullness of my years, pursue the clear scene. 单词释义 [1] embankment [ɪmˈbæŋkmənt] n. 堤; 堤岸; 堤围; [2] tatter [ˈtætə] n. 碎布; 破布条; [3] merman [ˈmɜːmæn] n.
